Marriage is Gay

I think any debate about gay marriage should start with the sensible party asking the other, "First off, you know it's been scientifically proven that the more vehemently someone argues against gays, the more gay they actually are, right?". There's some small-sample literature that supports an idea similar enough to that notion that you can try to pass it off as whole truth. I mean, when it comes to a lot of these folks, critical thinking doesn't seem to be their forte. And at the least it's anecdotal, which is close enough to gospel truth for the Internet.

Photogenicity

I don't typically photograph well. Not in that I take pictures of poor quality or low artistic merit (see the shot of the hyena on my fridge to quell any doubts), but rather in that I very, very often find myself inadvertently making a ridiculous face or striking a ridiculous pose anytime a camera flashes around me. But I'd rather be unphotogenic than disappointingly ugly.
